If I can achieve the same thing with Pburn in a multisession way, that would do!

The only reason for using UDF (as I see it) is if your files are more than 4Gb. Else, a multisession with ISO9660 combined with an extended filesystem (Rockridge and/or Joliet) would be just perfect.

The above answer is only true if you mean audio-files written to a data-CD/DVD. If you on the other side actually mean an audio CD, you wouldn't use UDF, so ISO9660 would obviously also fail (Pburn supports burning Audio-CD). Audio-DVD is a completely different story. It is a set standard, but never active used. If this is what you are talking about, we have to dig deeper to learn more about the Audio-DVD specs.

It's a compliment, really It means pburn works so well that I never need to see the innards to figure out what's wrong with it _________________Fatdog64, Slacko and Puppeee user. Puppy user since 2.13.

Hi Zigbert, yes I am just burning data, wavs, .pod files (music application file) so I will try out multisession. If I was burning 4gb+ I would just burn a closed DVD.

Giving up on reading my old discs now as after trying various codes on this thread, the Veritas/Sonic udf/packet writing formatted discs could not be read.

Late last year I got a LG Blu-Ray burner and several Kodak BU-RE disks to learn on. I found that Pburn generally has no trouble burning to Blu-Ray disks, including rewritable ones, though there was some odd thing I can't remember. I may have mentioned it in the Pburn thread.

add -UDF and remove Joilet switches works for my blu-ray bootable puppies.
I made a little script/system. First open a downloaded puppy-version iso. click and copy everything inside the iso into a isotemp folder copy or move (what I did, its faster on the same drive) large file stuffs up to 24.02 G as shown by right clicking on isotemp folder and properties. Then run the burn script, 35mins later repeat, until all files are backed up. Hope to finish backing up my 'storage' 1.5T HD to blu-ray bootable data discs before Monday. Need to add a 'beep' or 'bark' to the script, this blu-ray burner is so quiet I can't tell if its finished burning.

Have a quriky burner atm that only cp 1GB from a disk- no more, but burned PUPPY 130 MB OK ...

Many of my old UDF would not mount with it, will have to test to mount them with a reader-only .. have to rearrange the cables .. might be a kernel issue .. will have to test on vista .. at least i was not able to mkudffs on it .

But nice to hear that it worked for you . Bookmarked this page .. cos i cannot remember the syntax exactly some days later ..

For those who are unaware of this problem, this may help you:
Scenario
Windows user uses their system to copy a file (say an ISO, for instance) to a new DVD media. It is given to you. You wait for your PUP to register its icon and you click on it when it arrives onto your desktop.

(What was so embarrassing about this is that they were staring over my shoulder as I was "flailing" around the desktop trying to read this in front of these seasoned Windows users. Sheer embarrassment!)

The only system(s) that I have which had no problem with the media is Windows and my MAC.

I, too, thought this odd and am hoping that the recent distros in alpha-beta-RC testing acknowledge this thread and add this into the system, OOTB....please. As minor as this may seem, addressing this should help the broad spectrum on our community.

Thanks for understanding the need of something which is expected to be so simple...reading media without thinking about its formats/protocols.

Here to help.

Sorry to put the bushel in front of the light, but I'd like to ask what may be an essential question...

What is the utility of the UDF format nowadays ?

And its corollary:

What is the utility of having UDF in Puppy? (Besides reading data from UDF CD's burnt in Windows or other distros, of course.)

Thanks in advance.

I believe all DVD-Video and Blu-Ray video discs are written using different versions of UDF. Not sure about commercially-released/retail data DVDs/BDs - I haven't checked, but they're probably also written using a UDF format (like ISO+UDF).

I think most burning programs also default to a hybrid UDF mode when burning data DVDs.

Overall, I'd say that if you plan to work with DVDs or BDs from some outside source, you'll probably have to deal with UDF-format discs at some point._________________[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install | 1GB RAM | 1.3GB swap ] * My Pidgin Builds for Puppy 4.3.1+
